SPECIFICATION forming part or Letters Patent No. 361.377. dated11011119.1881

Application filed August 31, 1886. Serial No. 212,291. (No model.)

.To all whom it may concern: l

Beitknown' that I, CHARLES H. SHAW, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kingsand State of New York, have invented -a certain new and usefulImprovement in Razors, of which the following is a specification.

My improvement relates to the class of razors termed safety-razors.

I will describe in detail a razor embodying my improvement, and thenpoint out the novel features in a claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front elevation of asafety-razor embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a perspective Viewthereof, the razor-blade being removed.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in bothfigures.

A designates a frame constituiinga holder fora razor-blade, B. Thisframe is made of metal, and bent into such form as to have end pieces,a, and a bottom piece, b, extending between the end pieces, a,which'bottom piece is transversely bent or curved to form a receptaclefor lather.

C designates a roller-guard mounted in the end pieces, a, and extendingin front of and below the cutting-edge of the razor-blade, and over thereceptacle for the hair' and lather. The razor-blade is `secured in theholder by means of a spring,D, secured to the end pieces, a, andextending between them. The spring has afiiat portion, c. Therazor-blade .I is slipped in endwise between the bottom of the springand the fiat portion c, and is gripped by the dat portion c.

The cut hair and lather will fall 4o The frame in which the roller-guardis supported and the receptacle i'or the hair and llather are made inone integral piece, the construction being such that the aforesaidreceptacle has closed ends. This is very advantageous, because it can bemade quickly and cheaply, and the hair and lather will be effectuallyretained in the'receptacle.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to ysecure by Letters Patent,is

The combination, with a frame comprising a receptacle for hair andlather, made integral vtherewith and having closed ends, of arollerguard for the razor -blade, mounted in said frame above thereceptacle, and a resilient retaining device ior the razor-blade,rigidly secured to the frame, substantially as specified.
